\usepackage[english]{babel}

`booktabs`

The booktabs package enhances the quality of tables in LaTeX, providing extra commands as well as behind-the-scenes optimization.

\usepackage{booktabs}

`boxedminipage`

The boxedminipage package is a very simple package that essentially just wraps a minipage within an fbox.

\usepackage{boxedminipage}

`cleveref`

The cleveref package enhances LaTeX’s cross-referencing features, allowing the format of cross-references to be determined automatically according to the “type” of cross-reference (equation, section, etc.) and the context in which the cross-reference is used.

\usepackage[noabbrev]{cleveref}

`csquotes`

The csquotes package provides advanced facilities for inline and display quotations. It is designed for a wide range of tasks ranging from the most simple applications to the more complex demands of formal quotations.

The enumerate package adds an optional argument to the enumerate environment which determines the style in which the counter is printed.

\usepackage{enumerate}

`epstopdf`

This epstopdf packages adds support of handling eps images to package graphics or graphicx with option pdftex. If an eps image is detected, epstopdf is automatically called to convert it to pdf format.

\usepackage{epstopdf}

`gensymb`

This gensymb provides generic commands \degree, \celsius, \perthousand, \micro and \ohm which work both in text and maths mode.

\usepackage{gensymb}

`geometry`

This geometry package provides a flexible and easy interface to page dimensions. You can change the page layout with intuitive parameters. For instance, if you want to set a margin to 2cm from each edge of the paper, you can type just:

\usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}

\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

`graphicx`

\usepackage{oldgerm}

`pgfplots`

The pgfplots package, which is based on TikZ, is a powerful visualization tool and ideal for creating scientific/technical graphics. The basic idea is that you provide the input data/formula and pgfplots does the rest.

\usepackage{pgfplots}

`pythontex`

PythonTeX executes code in LaTeX documents and allows the output to be included in the original document. It supports Python as well as Bash, JavaScript, Julia, Octave, Perl, R, Raku (Perl 6), Ruby, Rust, and SageMath.

\usepackage{pythontex}

`rotating`

A package built on the standard LaTeX graphics package to perform all the different sorts of rotation one might like, including complete figures and tables with their captions. The package provides two new environments, sidewaystable and sidewaysfigure, each of which produces a single page-size float with contents rotated ±90 degrees.

\usepackage{rotating}

`setspace`

Provides support for setting the spacing between lines in a document. Package options include singlespacing, onehalfspacing, and doublespacing. Alternatively the spacing can be changed as required with the \singlespacing, \onehalfspacing, and \doublespacing commands. Other size spacings also available.

\begin{spacing}{2.5}
...
...
\end{spacing}

\usepackage{setspace}

`siunitx`

This is a comprehensive (SI) units package. Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be used

The package provides the user macros:

\ang[⟨options⟩]{⟨angle⟩}
\num[⟨options⟩]{⟨number⟩}
\unit[⟨options⟩]{⟨unit⟩}
\qty[⟨options⟩]{⟨number⟩}{⟨unit⟩}

`subcaption`

This package offers an user interface to typeset sub-captions.

\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{figure} 
\begin{center} 
\begin{tabular}{cc} 
\subcaptionbox{\label{1a}1975} {\rotatebox{0}{\scalebox{.4}{\includegraphics{o131a}}}} & 
\subcaptionbox{\label{1b}1985} {\rotatebox{0}{\scalebox{.4}{\includegraphics{o131b}}}} 
\end{tabular} 
\caption{\label{fig1}Walmart store openings for every 10 years} 
\end{center} 
\end{figure}

`tabularx`

A new environment, tabularx, is defined, which takes the same arguments as tabular*, but modifies the widths of certain columns, rather than the inter column space, to set a table with the requested total width. The columns that may stretch are marked with the new token X in the preamble argument. This package requires the array package.

\usepackage{tabularx}

`textcomp`

The package supports the Text Companion fonts, which provide many text symbols (such as baht, bullet, copyright, musicalnote, onequarter, section, and yen).

\usepackage{textcomp}

`threeparttable`

This package facilitates tables with titles (captions) and notes.

\usepackage[para]{threeparttable}

para: Notes come one-after-another without line breaks

\begin{table} 
\begin{center} 
\caption{\label{t1}The state of nature} 
\begin{threeparttable} 
\begin{tabular}{lc}
\toprule 1&2\\
\midrule 4&3\\
\bottomrule 
\end{tabular} 
\begin{tablenotes} 
\item ***, ** and * are significant at the \(\SI{1}{\%}\), \(\SI{5}{\%}\) and \(\SI{10}{\%}\) levels, respectively 
\end{tablenotes} 
\end{threeparttable} 
\end{center} 
\end{table}

`times`

The times package select Adobe Times Roman (or equivalent) as default font. The package is now obsolete, replaced by the mathptmx package, which supports Times Roman text and (mostly) matching mathematics.

\usepackage{times}

`ulem`

The ulem package provides various types of underlining that can stretch between words and be broken across lines in LaTeX or plain TeX. Such underlining is given by the \uline command, leaving the original \underline command available for math mode.

\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}

`url`

The command \url is a form of verbatim command that allows linebreaks at certain characters or combinations of characters, accepts reconfiguration, and can usually be used in the argument to another command. The command is intended for email addresses, hypertext links, directories/paths, etc., which normally have no spaces, so by default the package ignores spaces in its argument.

For instance, \url{http://www.overleaf.com}, will show the url passed as parameter and make it into a link, useful if you will print the document.

\usepackage{url}

`xcolor`

The package starts from the basic facilities of the color package, and provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors.

\usepackage{xcolor}

Memo

\(\text{PM}_{2.5}\)

Manipulate table number in Apendix section:

\section{Appendix}
\setcounter{table}{0}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{A\arabic{table}}

Manipulate table or figure numbers according to your interest:

For table, \renewcommand\thetable{A1} is the trick.

\begin{table}
 \renewcommand\thetable{A1}
  \begin{center}\caption{Definitions of the variables}\label{database}
    \begin{threeparttable}
      \scriptsize{
        \begin{tabular}{lllll}\toprule

For figure, \renewcommand\thefigure{A2} is the trick.

\begin{figure}
 \renewcommand\thefigure{A2}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
      \subcaptionbox{\label{Figure_2_a}Adaptation}{\rotatebox{0}{\scalebox{.50}{\includegraphics{Figure_2_a}}}}
      &
      \subcaptionbox{\label{Figure_2_b}Mitigation}{\rotatebox{0}{\scalebox{.50}{\includegraphics{Figure_2_b}}}}
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{\label{Figure:2}Boxplots}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}
